Titlul Lucrării Study on Risk Analysis and the Way of Framing the Activity of Credit Guarantee for SMEs in Prudential Requirements/ Indicators Dumitru Nancu Ovidius University of Constanta, Faculty of Economic Sciences [email protected] Abstract This study deals with risk analysis and with the way of framing the activity of credit guarantee for SMEs in terms of prudential requirements/ indicators. Il also tackles the ways of framing the activity of guaranteeing, financing and treasury, under prudential requirements/ indicators, within the limits laid down for Non-Banking Financial Institutions, for Guaranteeing the Credits granted to SMEs, by the National Credit Guarantee Fund for SMEs, under the Risk Policy and internal regulations (rules, procedures, operation instructions). Key words: risk analysis, credit guarantee, SME, prudential requirements, indicators J.E.L. classification: G30 1. Introduction The aspects related to the prudential indicators on the banking market, for the fiscal year 2015, are presented in accordance with several internal regulations, such as: "Methodological Norm no. 37 on credit risk management", "Methodological Norm no. 39 on market risk management and liquidity risk", "Methodological Norm no. 19 on the classification and provisioning of guarantees", "Working Procedure no. 14 on the identification and coding of groups of borrowers" etc. Within this study, we are going to deal with risk analysis and with framing the activity of guaranteeing, financing and treasury, under prudential requirements/ indicators. It is noteworthy that, in 2015, the Fund's activity was conducted in accordance with the prudential indicators established by the Risk Policy and by the above-mentioned risk management rules (Isărescu, M., 2015, p. 7). 2. Elements connected to the way of framing the activity of credit guarantee As far as research methodology is concerned, in this paper, we used both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis (regarding the prudential indicators for the fiscal year 2015), such as comparative data analysis, systems analysis and descriptive analysis (Chorafas, D.N., 2007, p. 17). It is noteworthy that the data analyzed within this paper are provided by Charisma, a business intelligence software for the advanced processing and analysis of performance indicators. The main elements analyzed in connection to the way of framing the activity of credit guarantee, in terms of prudential indicators, on the banking market, for the fiscal year 2015, are as follows: 1) The balance of the guarantees granted under equity, in the amount of 2,282,911,962 RON, registered at 31.12.2015, decreased by 4.02%, compared to the balance of November 2015 (i.e. 2,378,488,000 RON). The pace of this decline was slightly higher compared to the previous month (i.e. 3.34%). In December 2015, guarantees were granted in the amount of 72,712,571 RON, registering a decrease by 29.9%, compared to the guarantees granted in November 2015, in the amount of 103,730,667 RON, while the number of the guarantees granted registered a decrease by 17.9%. 2) The exposure from the activity of credit guarantee, respectively to the clientele of financial institutions, at 31.12.2015, represented by the balance of the guarantees from the portfolio of guarantees issued from the equity, in the amount of 2,282,911,962 RON, and falls in the coverage limit of 6,718,021,866 RON, as determined by the risk policy. Also, by monitoring the funders’ use of the guarantee coverage limits based on risk classes, the exposure falls within the limits assigned to funders. Thus, the coverage limit of 6,718,021,866 RON was used in a ratio of 33.98% at 31.12.2015, considering the balance of the guarantees granted under own sources, i.e. 38.81%, if we take into account the risk exposure of 2,607,806,421 RON. 3) Regarding the quality of the portfolio of guarantees from the balance sheet, it is noteworthy that, in absolute amounts, the undervalued guarantees have decreased slightly compared to November 2015 (this decrease was triggered mainly by the decrease in the beneficiaries with payment application and in the beneficiaries with demand for payment). On the other hand, the value of the balance for insolvent debtors grew by 6.3% in December, compared to the value recorded in November 2015. Regarding the quality of the guarantees granted monthly between October and December 2015, assessed according to the credit risk categories assigned by banks, we underline the fact that approx. 98% of the grants fell in the first 3 categories (standard, in observation, substandard), the difference of about 2% of the grants classified as doubtful and loss representing extensions. 4) In terms of the exposure represented by the balance of the guarantees issued from administration sources, on 31.12.2015, the total balance of the guarantees issued from administration sources (SAPARD, EAFRD, POP, according to GEO 79/2009, Law 329/2009, GEO 20/2014 and GEO 43/2014) was 1,183,604,279 RON, decreasing by 1.85%, compared to the balance recorded in the previous month, i.e. 1,205,892,197 RON. The balance corresponding to each portfolio falls within the limits set by source categories, as presented in the report. 5) At 31.12.2015, the exposure from financing activities was of 76,600,169.49 RON (current and overdue loans, current and overdue interest, penalty interest and overdue commissions) and it was provisioned at a share of 99.55% (provisions of 76,258,053.6 RON). The exposure resulting from the guaranteeing activity, respectively to the clientele of financial institutions, reflect the framing of the exposures resulting from the guaranteeing activity at the book value cumulated at the Fund level under equity, within the maximum coverage limit (Dardac, N. and Moinescu, B., 2006, p. 45). The maximum coverage limit was set at 6,718,021,866 RON (7 times the equity of FNGCIMM). It also examines the compliance with the maximum coverage limit allocated to a funder’s clientele, depending on the risk class determined in accordance with “PL 15”. At 31.12.2015, the Fund’s exposure to risk, regarding the guarantees granted on equity, consisted of the balance of the financial guarantees registered in the book keeping plus the amount of the payment applications rejected by the Fund, the inactive guarantees that can turn into payment of guarantees if the bank appeals against the Fund's decision, and the appeal is settled favorably by the courts or by the Fund (Uyemura, D.G. and Deventa, D.R., 1993, p. 20). Thus, at 31.12.2015, the Fund’ s exposure to risk was of 2,607,806,421 RON, of which 2.282.911.962 RON represented the balance of the guarantees granted under the equity, and 324,894,459 RON represented the amount of the payment applications rejected by the Fund between 2007 and 31.12.2015, registered in Charisma database.

The pace of the decrease was slightly higher compared to the previous month (i.e. 3.34%). The situation regarding the evolution of the balance of the guarantees granted under the equity, at 31.12.2015, compared to 30.11.2015, can be explained as follows: Table no. 1b.

In this regard, we emphasize the continuation of the descendant trend of the guarantees newly granted also in December, by the new guarantees amounting to 17.2 million RON, compared to the previous month, when there was registered an amount of 22.7 million RON. It is noteworthy that during January-December 2015, following the analysis on the granting of guarantees, there were rejected 347 applications for guarantees from own sources, amounting to 126.55 million RON (of which 95.38 million RON under the Coverage Convention, and 31,17 million RON under the Express Convention).

  • The Development of the Activity of Banks with Foreign Capital in Central and Eastern Europe
    Annals of the „Constantin Brâncuşi” University of Târgu Jiu, Economy Series, Issue 2/2014 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACTIVITY OF BANKS WITH FOREIGN CAPITAL IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE RADULESCU MAGDALENA, PH.D. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF PITESTI, ROMANIA, [email protected] Abstract The privatization has as purpose to reestablish the functionality of a type of property under the public agreement. The privatization of banks brings both positive and beneficial aspects, but also some notions with a negative impact that influence the capital markets and banking system. Among the benefits we can include: the increase of the effectiveness and performance of the banking operations, the implementation of some effective structures that lead to the gradual integration of the banking system into the greatly developed economies, the improvement and perfecting of the bank services. In Romania, the privatization of banks started rather late and in some cases it turned up to be very difficult. Romanian banking system is dominated by the Austrian and Greek investors. The Romanian banking system is very concentrated, but the intermediation level is still lower than in other European or Eastern European countries. Key words: privatization, foreign investors, banking system, Romania, Eastern European Countries. JEL Classification: F21, F23, G21, G24, G32, G34. 1. Introduction Broadly speaking, the privatization had and still has as purpose to reestablish the functionality of a type of property under the public agreement, and the aim of this phenomenon was intended to remove the proven negative and unwanted aspects related to the transfer of some responsibilities from the private field to the public sphere.

  • The Image Management Strategy Through Social Networks
    THE IMAGE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS. AN ANALYSIS OF THE BANKING ENVIRONMENT IN ROMANIA Victor-Alexandru Briciu1 Arabela Briciu2 Ștefania - Maria Găitan3 DOI: https://doi.org/10.31410/EMAN.2019.583 Abstract: Online self-presentation methods are becoming more and more difficult to manage today because communication technology limits user control over the information they use to strategically present themselves. By comparing older communications platforms (e.g., online chat rooms) where all the information was provided, today’s web is defined by user-generated content and allows both sides to communicate in a public environment. While self-presentation and impression management are similar concepts that are closely related, there is a consensus in the literature that impression management is a process by which individuals try to control the image that others are forming about those individuals or organizations. The size and diversity of online social networks are associated also with strategic self-representations as actions in which individuals present themselves in a way that suits the audi- ence’s expectations. Clearly, self-disclosure is an essential mechanism in developing and maintaining relationships. Therefore, the larger the size of the online social networks, the more individuals need to provide more information about themselves. The present paper aims to briefly present the ways of communication and promotion of the banks in Romania through the online environment and especially the identification and analysis of the ways in which those banks communicate and promote through the Facebook social network. To achieve the goal, a descriptive research was conducted, using the content analysis as the research method and the frequency analysis as a technique.

Following the accession of Romania to the European Union, the services sector has made important progress. Currently, this sector exceeds 50% of Romania's GDP. Banking has an important role in the economy by making financial intermediation, attracting deposits and placing credits. The increase in the number of banks on the Romanian market has led to intensification of competition and especially the awareness of the quality of online banking services offered. Therefore, the bank management has to take into account not only the “quality desired or achieved by the bank”, but also the quality perceived by the customer. In this paper we will start with an introduction of bank sector, and then we will present the methodology of research. The design of interview guide is the next step and in the main part of the paper is the analyses of data obtained and interpretation of results.

  • Home Vs. Host Country Culture Effects on the Risk-Taking of Bank Subsidiaries
    RADBOUD UNIVERSITY Nijmegen School of Management Master Thesis Home vs. host country culture effects on the risk-taking of bank subsidiaries By DAVOR BATINA (S4481828) Supervisor: Dr. Sascha Füllbrunn Department of Economics Master: Economics (Specialization: Financial Economics) Abstract This thesis analyzes cultural effects on risk-taking among bank subsidiaries in order to answer the question whether home or host country effects are stronger. A sample of 547 banks across 61 countries is used for the purpose of this research. Culture is measured by individualism and uncertainty avoidance. The results show that both measures are positively related to risk-taking. For individualism, home country effects prevail, while for uncertainty avoidance on the other hand host country effects are the strongest. These results are partly robust when alternative measures of risk-taking are used.
